The horrific road accident on the A23, which claimed eight lives, has stunned many people.

As someone who has lost a family member in a road traffic accident, I understand the pain and anguish of the relatives of those who died in the crash.

Gloria Marshall is a very brave woman. To lose one child is terrible enough but to lose two is beyond comprehension. My heart goes out to her.

I hope other motorists take note and drive more safely.
